1. Please follow all of these rules accordingly. Any violations from the rules may be sanctioned by the Administrators or the moderators of this site.

2. Please, refrain from posting one liners. Ideal post should be in detail, with about one paragraphs minimum, with three sentences each. If you are in a hurry, tell those who are you're rping with that you can't post now, and may post later so you could have more time. In a private topic, if both or all parties agree, one-liners will be allowed. However, all those who are in said private topic must agree to allowing one-liners in that topic only.

4. All applications which are pending for approval may not be used in your threads. You may test them out on OOC threads, but any In character related posts are not allowed. Sanction: 1st: Warning, 2nd: 3 Day Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

5. Mild cursing/swearing is allowed, but please refrain from making your posts into a curse-fest. There are people who rather not expose themselves to such exceeding actions. Sanction: 1st: Warning, 2nd: 2 Day Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

6. Racial discrimination is not allowed. Any form of sexual harassment or insulting is also discouraged. 1st: 3 daysuspension, 2nd: 1 week suspension, 3rd: Ban.

7. Please avoid having flame wars in the Chat box, or on posts. Debates are fine, as long as no one gets hurt. Also, no political talk like "The Bush Administration was great!". Any kind of flaming, even on spam threads are not allowed. 1st: Warning, 2nd: 1 Week Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

8. No Godmodding. This includes your character never getting tired during a fight, controlling another character within your posts and having anything God-like related. Same Sanctions as above.

9. Respect the Administrators and Moderators.

Other Rules

1. Do not post in dead topics at all, unless you are already in it and you plan to revive it and finish it. If no one is there anymore, do not post in it.

2. Please keep in mind that you can only be in five roleplay topics at a time. This rule has been made to avoid difficulties in the storyline and timeline. If you wish to enter another roleplay topic which would be your sixth, you must first leave one of your previous topics.

3. Do not Meta-game. This means using information gained OOC being used IC.

4. Follow the Posting Order of a topic. Unless someone has become inactive, you cannot post in the wrong order. For example: Person 1 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. It should continue this way for the rest of the topic.

The reason for this rule is so it doesn't turn into this: Person 1 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. Person 1 posts, Person 3 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. This would make it unfair to Persons 1 & 2 because Person 3 is getting more actions.

5. Do not use unapproved jutsu/weapons/items/etc in an active topic. If you get a technique/weapon or anything else gained through approvals or buying, which means basically anything, you cannot use it until you go to a topic which has a topic start time of AFTER you got whatever it is. This goes along with the meta-gaming rule that restricts character information.

6. To use an item in a topic, you must have it: made, appraised, bought, have Ryo deducted, and finally, added to your item list. If it's not in your list and you use it, you may either be disqualified in what you were doing, ignored, or even punished by a Mod/Admin. If you don't have it in your list and you need it to be, ask an Admin or Mod to add it for you. Only after that may you actually use it.

7. Topic titles are not to be changed. This excludes from Open to Private since we won't know when certain things in RP will change. This also means that when a title says all of whom are to be in a topic, those are the only ones allowed. Despite the creator of the topic may want more people, this will not be allowed. Please keep this rule in mind, it is for the benefit of all and without it, the topic would contradict who's in it. After all, you wouldn't want someone barging in your private topic or anything like that.

8. Post your jutsu's either in a spoiler or code after your RP. This means at the bottom of your post.

9. Your user name must be the same as your characters first name. Alias's will not be accepted. This makes it easier for admins / mods to find applications belonging to specific users.

Extra Rules

Five Minute Rule: This is an important rule that must be followed with the same punishment as all the other normal rules. When a staff member enters the chat box no one is allowed to bug them with things like "Can you look at _____ app?" or ""[link] Can you look at that" for the first five minutes they are there. In addition no one can bug a staff member about applications and other things for the first five minutes the member is in the chat, this is to prevent people logging in to ask about or link an app and then log out, the punishment will still be handed out.

Bumping: From time to time the staff won't be able to look at our applications (be they characters, weapons, jutsu...) right away due to either personal problems or a build up of other work needing to be finished on the forum that takes priority. When this happens a person's natural reaction seems to be posting a "bump" in that topic, we please ask that you refrain from doing this. After one week has passed we have a staff member assigned to go through the creation zone and place a bump for you. However if you feel you're an extremely important thing you are allowed to bump it yourself but only after a minimum of 72 hours. You are also only allowed to bump a topic one time, not a single time more than that.
